Introduction
With your watch’s perpetual calendar feature, the date does not need adjustment until 2100. The watch automatically accounts for short months and leap years, always showing the correct day and date. The day and date were preset at the Timex factory. You only need to adjust the time. The watch has two recessed push buttons for use by Timex Service Center to set the day and date after battery replacement. They have no use otherwise.
Leap Year Offset
To maintain the correct date, the watch includes a setting for the current leap year offset. This setting is made at the Timex factory or after battery replacement and cannot be changed, only viewed.
To view the offset, pull the crown to its middle position. The date hand shows the offset: 1 = 1 year after leap year; 2 = 2 years after leap year; 3 = 3 years after leap year; 4 = leap year. Push the crown in when done and the hands resume their normal display of day, month, and date.
